What better feedback than having IBM ship the modification that you made to Apache or having Red Hat ship the documentation that updated for the GNOME login?
I once had a job that required me to read a lot of bug reports. The bane of such a job is people who can't express themselves: "I did, like, you know, and it, like, didn't work." So I was always grateful to those who really tried to nail down the problem.
One day I got a bug report filed by a student at (if memory serves) High School #2 in Chengdu, a provincial capital in central China. First she apologized for her English. Then she went on to describe, clearly and concisely, a bug in our virtual reality software.
Right now my group is desperate for tech writers. If this girl were to show up, I'd hire her on the spot. Hey, like, her English is perfectly OK, you know?
